Italian Brewmasters on the Trail of Lager Beer in Bamberg

The focus of this year’s seminar with Italian brewmasters was brewing authentic lagers with all the interesting facts there is to know about this wonderful beer style.

For the 14th time we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of Italian brewing specialists to a two-day seminar in our special malting factory in Bamberg.

The program of the seminar, which we organized in collaboration with our Weyermann® distribution partner for Italy, Uberti S.R.L., included lectures and presentations, as well as workshops and tastings led by our Weyermann® beer and malt expert for Italy, Alirio Caldera.

Of course, our Weyermann® Eraclea Pilsner malt was used during the joint brewing session. Made from the finest two-row Italian Adriatic Coastal barley, cultivated in the region around the city of Eraclea, close to Venice, this aromatic malt provides the perfect base for aromatic and authentic Mediterranean beers.

An excursion to the Weyermann® craft bakery and distillery as well as a tour of our company including an evening supporting program in our beautiful beer city Bamberg rounded off the seminar perfectly.

We would like to thank all participants for the pleasant cooperation!

Many thanks to Marco Grella, Tommaso Garolla and David Cucco from Uberti S.R.L. for the wonderful support of the seminar.

Many thanks to our in-house Weyermann® experts, who shared their wealth of knowledge with our guests with great joy and enthusiasm.

Many thanks to our organization team, who guaranteed everything ran smoothly.

Many thanks to our quality management team for preparing the tastings and evaluating the results.

And finally, many thanks to the party service Ludwig from Burgebrach for the fantastic catering!

We are very much looking forward to the next seminar in 2025 and until then wish everyone happy brewing with Weyermann® Malts!
